Thank you for choosing Will County Habitat for Humanity as your choice of community engagement!
Join us in our efforts to foster community and build thriving neighborhoods by helping to construct the new homes, rehab old ones, or work in our construction warehouse. Habitat construction professionals lead volunteers on tasks each build day. Although some prior construction experience is welcomed, it is not required.
Please sign up if you are available to help Construction.
- No construction experience is necessary. In fact, many of our volunteers are brand-new to the world of home construction! Simply come ready to learn and Habitat construction staff will guide you from there.
- Volunteer day activities can include anything it takes to build a home from start to finish. Typical volunteer activities include: framing, siding, painting, roofing, laying flooring, hanging doors or windows, trim work, finishing, landscaping, and cleaning. We mean it when we say – every single task is critical for the success of our mission.
- Volunteer arrival time is between 7:45 a.m. and 8 a.m. The workday is from 8 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. Please be punctual for the 8 a.m. mandatory safety talk and so you don’t miss the work-day goals and instructions necessary to accomplish the day’s tasks. Minors must have a waiver signed by a parent/guardian.
- The minimum age to volunteer is 16 years old with adult supervision required for anyone under 18.
- Please wear clothing that you do not mind getting dirty or possibly damaged. Sturdy, hard-soled, closed-toed, closed-heeled shoes are required.
We will make every effort to communicate a specific location before your scheduled volunteer day. If you are contacted regarding a location, please meet us at our office/warehouse in Joliet at 7:45 am. The office/warehouse address is:
2415 McDonough St.
Joliet, IL 60436
